Abstract
This chapter discusses the pipeline hydraulic analysis for both liquid and gas pipelines. Based on the understanding of building on the liquid and gas properties and the pipe strength analysis, it reviews this the different types of flows, Reynolds number, and pressure drop resulting from friction. It begins with a discussion of flow of liquids in pipelines. Following this, it explains the flow of liquids in pipelines. It also discusses how the pipe elevation profile affects the pumping pressure requirements and describes how to calculate the number and location of pumping stations and compressor stations. Thus, it provides an understanding of the hydraulics of liquid and gas pipelines. Furthermore, it explains the Hazen–William's equation for water flow together with the impact of the C-factor. Minor losses in valves and fittings were discussed. Thereafter, it introduces, the friction factor, transmission factor, and the general flow equation in gas pipelines and describes the method of calculating the pressure drop in a pipe segment. Finally, it discusses the effect of the elevation difference between the upstream and the downstream ends of the pipeline.
